LOS ANGELES (AP) - Neither King Arthur nor Amy Schumer proved to be decent competition for the intergalactic misfits of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” The Marvel and Disney sequel easily conquered the box office charts again in its second weekend in theaters, adding $65.3 million to its domestic total, which now rests at $248.4 million.
It far surpassed newcomers “Snatched,” the R-rated Schumer and Goldie Hawn comedy, which took second place with $19.5 million, and “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword,” a $175 million epic starring Charlie Hunnam that earned a paltry $15.4 million for a third-place finish.
“The Fate of the Furious” finished in fourth place with $5.4 million, in its fifth week. “Beauty and the Beast” took fifth place, in its ninth week in theaters, with $4.8 million.
